They’re trying to make me subhuman!

[randomman154]

So basically, I gained a bunch of weight over the past few years and became obese. At 5’8 and over 200 pounds. Now I’m at 170 pounds and way less subhuman. How did I do this? I figured out that I have insulin resistance and blood sugar issues. Self diagnosed of course. But it explained why I was ravenously hungry all the time for no reason. So I started taking berberine, lifting weights, eating a low GI diet, fasting, and walking. I fucked my insulin resistance so hard that sometimes I would be dizzy and nauseous and quickly had to take a teaspoon of honey to not collapse. By doing this, I effortlessly lost around 30 pounds.

Fast forward, and the Australian government decided that I have skitzophrenia and bipolar. They decided to put me on Latuda, a medication known to mess with your blood sugar and insulin resistance. Now I’m starving 24/7 again, no matter what I do. I can’t stop taking the meds or they’ll send me to a mental hospital.

I don’t want to be subhuman again, it was fucking hell. But I don’t think I can get through this with sheer discipline and will power alone.

Please help.

and they decided that based on what?

It’s this organisation. Basically I was living with my mother, and she forced me to attend therapy sessions with this organisation. I told these fuckers that I was paranoid about my face bloating and my mother trying to have sex with me or some shit. I don’t know I was having some delusions at the time. I think it was weed induced. They told me to take Abilify pills, but I frequently forgot to take them. anyway they sent some Indian guy to my house, and I told him that I wasn’t taking my pills consistently. We got into an argument and things got heated. He brought an ambulance and they took me to a mental hospital for 3 weeks. After that, they set me up with another seperate organisation and put me under a community treatment order, forcing me to get injections monthly. They said that I had skitzophrenia and bipolar. Now I’m fucking trapped. I don’t know what to do.

umh i take seraquel and i know sum but the thing is that if you have a sprout or are on a manic episode that meds are the only option to keep u sane bru but do you think you are not schizo or bipolar? whats your history. out of the metabolic effects of the meds, you can regulate yourself eventually if you follow the protocol and have a more healthy life (mentally and physical). have you made ur own research?
theres second-generation (atypical) antipsychotics that generally have a more favorable metabolic profile (the issues u mentioned: lower risk of weight gain, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance) abilify or zeldox i think its called
but if you are concerned about the metabolic side effects of your treatment, you MUST discuss that with the doctor who prescribed your medication

No I definitely do think I have some mental health issues. I’m trying my best to address them. I think the best option is to go to a doctor and try to get treatment to counteract the metabolic effects of the antipsychotics. Maybe metformin or some shit.

I don’t think it was just one episode. I think the effects still linger. To be honest I don’t know. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

oh then the suggestion on the atipical antipsychotics and talking to the doctor about all of that is a good option. dont ever feel like a crazy mental disabled person, society wants to make you feel that way. you just need to regulate the inestability that is ocurring in you brain and then you start working on all of the other things in your life. gl bro
